Blum. The action was followed by an announcement by Mr.

Blum that Chief McGrath intends to retire for health reasons, after nearly 25 years on the police force and more than 10 years as chief. The exact date of his retire ment was not announced. The withdrawal of charges was made in writing by Mr. Blum and was read at a departmental hear ing yesterday at Borough Hall. Mr.

Blum, in his statement, said that Chief McGrath "never personally altered, changed, mod ified, erased, or falsified any rec- He paid high tribute to the chief for his police record here. Three Accused Charges were filed against the chief, Deputy Chief Theodore Lod-er, and Patrolman Frederick Lod- er after all three were suspended Jan. 19, in connection with alleged irregularities in police payroll record keeping. A hearing on the charges against Patrolman Loder has been set for Friday, and a hearing for Deputy Chief Loder is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday.

The suspensions followed the impounding of police records after Mayor Louis Collichio and Mr. Blum reported the police blotter had been under surveillance "for some time." They alleged that numerous alterations had been made in the blotter to justify excessive overtime. Yesterday's hearing lasted only about five minutes, long enough to hear Mr. Blum's statement read by Irving Verisloff, North Brunswick attorney, who presided. Blum Not Present Mr.

Blum, who reportedly injured his back several days ago, was absent from yesterday's hearing. He stepped down as presiding officer at the hearings because he had served under the suspended officers as a police captain several years ago. Mr. Blum said in the statement that Mayor Collichio and Borough Council were in accord with his action. "While It Is true Chief Mc Grath is responsible for the actions of his subordinates, a close scrutiny of the records and further investigation reveals Chief Mc Grath never personally, altered, changed, modified, erased, or falsified any records," Mr.

Blum's statement said. See CHIEF Page 2 "If your young home, Polly man has gone go to bed!" Vj I HI-TEEN u. -vir Indonesian Mobs Attack U.S. Buildings R. F.

Kennedy Tells Students U.S. Won't Abandon Neutrality JAKARTA, Indonesia tfl Howling mobs of Indonesians attacked U.S. buildings and the homes of four American diplomats last night in the Communist stronghold of Surabaja, capital of East Java. Apparently setting out on signal, the mobs simultaneously de scended upon the U.S. consulate, a U.S.

information service library and the homes of the American consul, two vice consuls and an agricultural specialist. No injuries were reported. The attackers also damaged the Japanese consulate and the home of the consul of Japan. Not Aimed at Kennedy Although the attacks came during a visit to Indonesia by U.S. Atty.

Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, none appeared aimed at him. The mobs were protesting against the movement of Dutch troops to West New Guinea which the In donesians claim as theirs by commercial airliners that had re fueled in U.S. territory and Ja pan.

At Bandung in West Java, Mr. Kennedy bluntly told Indonesians today they would be crazy to think the United States will toss aside its neutral attitude and opnose the Dutch in Indonesia's claim to West New Guinea. "If you don-'t like our attitude there is no point in your getting upset or angry about it," he told university students. He made his remarks in reply to repeated questions from the students on why the United States would not support the Indonesian claim to the territory. The United States, he said, is friendly to both Indonesia and the Dutch.

Bus Workers Set Strike For Tomorrow NEWARK W1 A strike that could mean a switch in travel ing plans for a million persons has been called against Public Service Coordinated Transport, effectivs midnight tomorrow. The strike was announced yesterday by Joseph P. Dunn, counsel for the Amalgamated Association of Street, Rail Motor Coach Employes Union. The announcement came on the heels of an emergency meeting of the union's negotiating committee with the company. Some 5,600 workers would ba affected by the strike.

The transit workers have been working without a contract since Feb. 1 when, in statewide balloting, they rejected company proposals. Herbert C. Harper, president of Coordinated Transport, a subsidiary of Public Service Electric Gas said he regretted the hardship a strike would impose on a million daily riders. The company said it would provide an 18-cents-an-hour pay increase over a two-year period-six cents every eight months.

The union reportedly wanted a two-step increase 10 cents immediately and 8 cents in 10 months. The company said drivers are currently paid $2.57 an hour, mechanics $2.67, repairmen $2.57, and garagemen INDEX SAYS AIDING Menially III Is Gratifying Work Page 8 TOMS RIVER sweeps wrestling tourney Page 13 PARKWAY SPUR plea stalled at Eatontown Page 16 DE GALLE'S Grand Vision threatened Page 10 Page Amusements 6-7 Births 2 Bob Thomas 6 Bridge 4 Church 11 Classified 17-19 Comics 16 Crossword Puzzle 19 Deaths I Dorothy Kilgallen 6 Dr. Brady 10 Editorials 10 Egg Prices 4 Emily Post 9 Radio and TV 7 Social 8-9 Sports 13-15 Stocks 4 Today's Attractions 6 World Today 10 Where to Dine Dance 6 See the latest in Marine Elec tronics "View the Jersey Coast on a Radar Screen" See operat ing Loran and Automatic Pilots.

British troops went ashore after four days of strikes and demonstrations by thousands of civil servants, teachers, store clerks and others demanding the resignation of the Marxist prime minister had erupted into bloody street fighting.

The bloodshed seemed certain to set back Jagan's drive for quick independence for British Guiana, Britain's only South American colony, and his hopes for U.S. Alliance for Progress funds. The British governor, Sid Wal ter Grey, broadcast repeated appeals for order and declared the violence had deferred all plans for British Guiana for years. Presumably he meant independence. Fear Plans Strikers have protested that if Jagan gets his demand for swift independence he will turn British Guiana into a model of Castro's Cuba.

The uprising was touched off by Jagan's austerity program and its unpopular compulsory savings plan and freeze on vacations. But the strikers have vowed to con tinue their walkout until Jagan quits altogether. Opposition to Jagan reached a climax this week with a general strike that paralyzed Georgetown. Yesterday it broke out into pitched battles in the streets. Demonstrators roamed the streets setting fire to stores and vehicles, looting and clashing again and again with police.

Riot squads opened fire on the rampaging mobs after failing to stop them with tear gas grenades. The rioters returned the fire. At least three persons were reported killed and scores wounded in the early fighting. An estimated 30 of the city's largest buildings were set ablaze. British Explain In London, the British Colonial Office made clear the dispatch of British troops was "for the sole purpose of maintaining law and order." When British troops were last sent here in 1953 London feared Jagan a 43-year-old American-educated dentist with an American wife planned a coup to set up a Communist bridgehead on this northeast shoulder of South America.

Jagan, after being ousted, came back stronger than ever. In last fall's election British Guiana's first under a new charter of internal self-government Jagan and his PAP won 20 of the 35 seats in the new Legislative Assembly. See Little U.S. Losses In Viet Nam WASHINGTON officials say the guerrilla war in South Viet Nam will be won with a minimum amount of combat and loss of life by Americans. As this official optimism was being expressed here yesterday there was a report in Saigon the United States is going to triple the length of service of some of its Army men in Viet Nam.

Three-fourths of the estimated 4,000 U.S. servicemen there are assigned to a temporary six-month tour of duty, but an informant said this is being extended to a permanent 18-month tour for some key personnel, such as heli copter pilots. The Saigon dispatch said official information on the extension was classified, presumably to avoid calling more attention to the U.S. military build-up. It is aimed at keeping the Southeast Asian country from falling to Communist guerrillas and infiltrators slipping across the border from North Viet Nam.

The situation will take Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara on another flying trip to Hawaii this weekend for a conference with top officers and diplomats from the Red-pressed country. He will leave tomorrow, accompanied by Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; assistant Secretary of Defense Paul A. Nitze, and W.

Aver-ell Harriman, assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs. Gen. Paul D. Harkins, newly appointed U.S. military commander in Viet Nam, arrived in Honolulu yesterday to prepare for the talks.

It will be the third such Viet Nam conference for Mr. McNamara in two months. Basements waterproofed. Writ ten guarantee. Free estimates.

Big Sea Days Decision Is Due in March POINT PLEASANT BEACH -The Board of Directors of the Greater Point Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce will decide at its March meeting whether to have a Big Sea Days celebration this year, Arthur R. Kelts, chamber executive vice president, said yesterday.

The board is reviewing responses from questionnaires it sent to local merchants asking them if they thought the annual celebration is worthwhile and what events, if any, should be omitted. Mr. Kelts said the board reached no decision at its meeting Thursday night. He said a decision would have to be made next month in order to start planning for the event if is to be held. Earlier this week Mr.

Kelts said preliminary response to the cham ber's survey showed merchants split almost in half on the question of continuing the celebration. A slight majority favors it, he said. Mr. Kelts said he thought Big Sea Days, which has run for three days in recent years, might be cut back to one day this summer. Other days would be sponsored by different organizations, he said.

Last year the celebration was expanded to one week to include the borough's diamond jubilee, honoring its 75th birthday.

The injunction is to continue until a final hearing can be held on Interlaken's suit, which seeks to block the extension on grounds it violates the contract setting up the commission and would overload the system. No date was set for final hear ing- Robert V.

Carton, representing Interlaken, said the 1926 commission agreement provides that any action that would cause expansion of the system outside the borough and the five original township districts needs the con- t-nt of both the township and the borough. Fears Major Expense He also argued that the system is at or near capacity and con- necting Colonial Terrace wouia necessitate major improvements for which Interlaken would have to pay a part. D. Joseph De Vito, representing the township, said the 1926 con tract was superseded by a 1956 agreement that provided for arbi tration of differences, and presented an engineer's affidavit that the extension would not overload the system. Until the merits oi tne contracts can be brought out at the final hearing, Judge Leonard said, it appears on the face of things that the 1926 agreement is in etiect.

In talks with nations outside the Soviet bloc, the United States and Britain have been advocating the view that a major effort should be made by all the participating countries to get the negotiations off to a serious rtart. President Kennedy and Secretary State Dean Rusk are known favor an absolute minimum of speech-making at the outset, whatever the level at which the conference opens.

D. Louis Tonti, the parkway's executive director, said last night he was surprised by a sudden lack of enthusiasm for the proposed Red Hill road interchange. He said he is particularly surprised by the reluctance of the Bell Telephone Laboratories to take a position over the project.

The interchange would benefit the workers at the new Bell plant, he noted. A Red Bank Community Chamber of Commerce committee has opposed the plan because the proposal would close the Telegraph kill Park ramp which now provides free access to the Bell research center. Mr. Tonti said the parkway would probably place highway and bridge enlargement projects in north Jersey ahead of the proposed interchange. The proposal was discussed with Joseph C.
